How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Seat Leon

Model: Seat Leon MK 3, 5F - Years 2012-2019
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt on a Seat Leon, lift the car with a jack or ramp so you can loosen the bolts securing the front right wheel: once this is removed, you can detach the inner cover of the wheel arch and access the crankshaft pulley. By loosening the tensioner, you can remove the belt itself, detaching it from the camshaft pulley at the top of the engine: this way, you can fit the new one, ensuring everything functions correctly.
